Welcome to African language - Nigerian Englishpeople and Nigerian culture.
Nigerian English is sometimes written, especially in newspapers and magazines.

Nigerian English is printed regularly in the newspapers and since much of it consists of using Standard English in
extended senses spelling is generally not a problem.

Some forms of pidgin origin such as "done" have
conventional representations, e.g. "don".

However, others, such as "rubber" are pronounced in a variety of
forms, such as "roba", "ruba" etc. depending on sociolinguistic considerations.

Africa is home to more than a billion people and is also the fastest growing continent.
